It is really the latest hat from Paris and, like its predecessors... is memorable only because it is trimmed with the most tasteful photographic effects. Like them, however, it struck me as more decorative than substantial.

Rating: C+ --
Expect more resistance than usual to the implication that it's a classic ripe for the canon. Changing times do evolve past some things.

Director Bourguignon does not seem to understand that what is infantile is not necessarily childlike and certainly not charming.

TIME Magazine
Rating: 3/5 --
Serge Bourguignon won the Oscar for best foreign language film with this self-promoting, arty affair, which countered the stylistic departures of the nouvelle vague by returning to French cinema's much-derided poetic tradition.

Radio Times
Rating: 3/5 --
Serge Bourguignon treats a sensitive subject with grace here to create a warm, often poignant film, although his presentation tends to call attention to the film's style at the expense of substance.

TV Guide
Hardy Kruger as the anguished ex-airman is seldom more expressive than a robot, and the story's implied protest against mob-minded callousness is both banal and fuzzy.

Product Description:
SUNDAYS AND CYBELE (original French title: LES DIMANCHES DE VILLE D'AVRAY) stars Hardy Kruger as a former bomber pilot. Emotionally shattered by a tragic wartime incident, Kruger goes into semi-seclusion in a small Parisian suburb. He is drawn out of his shell by 12-year-old orphan girl Patricia Gozzi. The nuns in charge of Patricia bless the relationship, assuming that Kruger is the girl's father. A warm, chaste friendship develops between the older man and the bright-eyed girl, culminating in their mutual decision to spend Christmas together in a nearby woods. Unfortunately, nurse Nicole Courcel, suspecting that Kruger is a pedophile, calls the police--a move that can only result in disaster for all concerned. Based on a novel by Bernard Eschasseriaux, the exquisitely photographed SUNDAYS AND CYBELE won the 1962 Best Foreign Film Academy Award.
